Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Question for those more knowledgable than me
I just bought a leopard gecko for my 6 year old son as a birthday present. I did a lot of research before I got it but I'm still unsure about some stuff. How often should the little one poop? I've had it for 3 days now and have yet to see any poop in the cage. He ate well last night so I know that's not the problem. Any suggestions?

Our little Gexie did this with us when we first got him. Poor guy or gal is probably a bit on edge and getting used to his environment. The can be touchy and even private! I've NEVER seen Gexie poop. I walked in on him once in the middle of a poop and he stopped. I left the room and he finished up. He didn't poop a lot for us in the beginning but he poops every two days now. Cleaning poop everyday sometimes to every other day sucks! Hes lucky I like him. lol I would say just wait it out for a minute. If he doesn't poop for like two weeks maybe shorter or longer I'm not sure, or if he looks bloated then you could try some other stuff. I've never had this problem with my Leo but I have with my Snake. I always just gave my Snake a bath, and held him, two minutes later I've got poop all over me. Oh well.

Well, it depends. How old is your gecko? If it is very young, like under 3-4 months, he prob should be going soon. If he doesn't, you may try a warm bath, some waxworms, or other methods which I won't recommend at this point. If your leo is more of an adult, or sub-adult, like over 6 months, I'd give it about a week until you take action.

i highly doubt this is the problem, but more of a concern. What type of substrate are you keeping him on? if it is anything other than paper towels, i would change it asap. You dont want him digesting any sand, bark, walnut shells, etc. as that could cause impaction. You said you did your research, so im sure you know this, but just double checking with you. Be sure to post pics of the little one!
